"I knew Tom was the one straightaway. I could see it in his eyes that he was a man with integrity who believes in the same things I do." Supermodel Gisele Bundchen knew Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady was the man for her the first time they dated.

We're sure you heard it by now, but Chris Pratt and Chris Evans made one cool bet on Superbowl XLIX over Twitter. Apparently, the two are hardcore fans of each of the teams and pitted themselves up against each other for a great cause.
Pratt rooted for the Seahawks and Evan for the Patriots and they set the stakes via Twitter.
Things got a little intense:
@ChrisEvans We both know there's only one Captain America and his name is Russell Wilson. #SuperBowlBound #LOB #Repeat
— chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) January 19, 2015
Then they made a little wager on the game.
They ended up deciding that if the Seahawks won, Evans would visit Seattle Children's Hospital dressed up as Captain America, and if the Patriots came out on top, Pratt would visit Christopher's Haven dressed as Star-lord in a Tom Brady jersey
@ChrisEvans OK. Seahawks win you fly yourself to Seattle, visit @seattlechildren hospital as Captain America, waving the 12th man flag.
— chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) January 21, 2015
@prattprattpratt I accept. And when the Patriots humiliate your seachickens, I expect Star-Lord to arrive at @chris_haven in a Brady jersey
— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) January 21, 2015
They even asked people to donate to their charity of choice, by having them side #teampratt or #teamevans.
With the New England Patriots' win last night, also came Evan's moment of glory, but the two great men have agreed to serve out this admirable bet together:
Congrats to the world champions @patriots you were the better team tonight. I will be visiting @chris_haven as Starlord. #twitterbowl

Thank you to @prattprattpratt for being a good sport. I'll be there with you at @chris_haven, and don't worry @seattlechildren, we'll be
— Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) February 2, 2015
coming there too! And lastly, I don't think anyone can ever doubt the mental toughness of Tom Brady. Tough couple weeks, but he showed why

We may not be surprised by their generosity, but it sure is good to witness!

6:45PM: I have the Super Bowl on TV, with the sound on mute, while I watch Netflix and keep an eye out for signs that Katy is coming. Before she's even made an appearance, I've had tons of questions in anticipation. For instance, will there be whipped cream?

Will we see anyone's "Peacock" (besides the NBC logo)? Will Beyoncé come out? (To be fair, we ask that last question every time we watch a live event).
7:46PM: The second quarter seems to be winding down (with the Patriots taking a time-out with like 40 seconds left, which in football time means another three hours, right?). Whatever, sports.
7:49PM: There are still sports-related things going on, not really sure why.
7:51PM: I think there was a touchdown or something, and now the team that Tom Brady isn't on is taking a time-out. Hopefully Katy Perry will come on tonight?
GIPHY
7:57PM: There seem to be endless time-outs and I've now accidentally watched over 10 minutes of football.
8:00PM: THE ANNOUNCER JUST SAID "HALF-TIME," SO LET'S SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES UNTIL THE GOOD PART OF THE SHOW COMES ON!
8:05PM: Now, people are talking about football.

8:10PM: They said Katy Perry is up next!
8:11PM: Alien abductions are taking everyone's Pepsi and blue wigs. Must be "E.T." Right? Is it?!
GIPHY
8:11PM: NOPE! "Roar!" And balloons! And a giant tiger! Where can we get some of these balloons? They're amazing.

8:12PM: Girl's entrance is rivaling Madonna's. But is she wearing a Hot Wheels car? Definitely a Hot Wheels car.

8:13PM: I literally can't tell what the ground is and who is on it because things keep happening, but I love it.
8:14PM: LENNY KRAVITZ! LENNY KRAVITZ! OMG LENNY KRAVITZ KISSED A GIRL AND HE LIKED IT! Gah, Lenny Kravitz is such an eternal hottie.

8:15PM: Katy just dropped it low on some Kravitz crotch and we're super jealous but also, like, does anyone remember Miley/Robin Thicke?

8:15PM: Katy Perry's voice has actually never sounded better live. Hashtag-killin' it.
8:15PM: Giant Beach balls, sharks, and surf boards (#SERFBORT) are dancing around.
GIPHY
8:16PM: Katy Perry just came out with beach ball bra on singing "Teenage Dream" (I think?). Love it when her bras are shaped like things.
8:16PM: These sharks can dance!
GIPHY
8:17PM: "California Gurls" - she's making the crowd sing, which is lazy if you ask me (kidding). I was already singing along anyway...
8:17PM: She just groped a palm tree. Jealous.
8:18PM: MISSY ELLIOTT?! MISSY WAIT WHAT MISSY ELLIOTT JUST CAME OUT!!!
8:19PM: IT'S MISSY ELLIOTT! I CAN'T BREATHE, "GET UR FREAK ON"

8:19PM: MISSY HAS SOOOO MUCH WEAVE; IT'S AMAZING. AND NOW "WORK IT." Katy's kitty claws for "If you a fly girl, get your nails done" just gave. me. life.

8:20PM: "LOSE CONTROL," BUT I ALREADY LOST CONTROL! AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'M MORE INTO THE LIGHTS AND THE DANCING OR MISSY'S BLINGED OUT MICROPHONE OR ALL OF IT.
8:21PM: Missy looks flawless, like better than she's ever looked.
8:21PM: Katy just asked if we've ever felt like a plastic bag, and like, no I haven't, but I'll listen. I think this song is "Firework"

8:22PM: Katy Perry just took off hovering above the field from a shooting star and now fireworks are going everywhere, the shooting star is also sparking while she shoots across the sky-y-y-y

8:23PM: It seems she's been singing into a bedazzled Wii controller this whole time. Don't you just hate it when your game of Wii bowling is interrupted because you have to go sing at the Super Bowl?
8:24PM: It's all over. Straight up crushed it. It had fireworks, sharks, Lenny Kravitz, and the greatest surprise guest ever in the history of surprises and guests, because where has Missy Elliott been? Does this mean she's putting out a new album?
8:26PM: Why is this old man talking about football instead of potential Missy Elliott albums and how beautifully Katy Perry just performed? The Super Bowl needs to re-prioritize.
8:27PM: Okay, the old man just at least said "Katy Perry may have blown us away." He's forgiven. Even though that's an understatement.
9AM: This GIF exists, all is right with the world.

Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Chris Evans and Steven Tyler were among the stars who took part in a Super Bowl-related skit on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night U.S. chat show. The celebrities all tried to convince TV viewers that the Bostonian characters they had created were responsible for deflating footballs for the New England Patriots' NFC Championship clash with the Indianapolis Colts. Quarterback Tom Brady has denied reports he asked equipment bosses to let air out of game balls so he and his teammates could get a better grip. The Patriots won the game and will take on the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl on Sunday (01Feb15).

Comedienne Rosie O'Donnell has been left with four unwanted tickets to the Super Bowl after prematurely snapping up seats for the big game when she thought her son's beloved Green Bay Packers would be there. The actress reveals she promised to treat her son Blake, her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter and her new spouse Anne Steele to a trip to Arizona next month (Feb15) if the Packers managed to beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday (18Jan15) and secure their place in the Super Bowl.
Her son began celebrating as his team dominated the Seattle Seahawks, the current Super Bowl champions, in the NFC Championship game at the weekend (18Jan15) - and O'Donnell decided to make good on her promise and book the tickets and the flights to Arizona online.
However, the Seahawks shocked Packers fans as they managed to claw their way back to tie the game in the final minutes, and then scoring the winning touchdown in overtime - and now O'Donnell has no use for the tickets she purchased.
She explains, "He (Blake) was at a bar with Kelli and Anne. (He) texted me, 'Mom, we're going to the Super Bowl', 'cause I said if they get in, I'd take Anne, Kelli and him - we'd all go.
"Two minutes left (of the game), I'm watching it, I'm like, 'Please God, I just booked the flight to Phoenix...!' I thought there'd be a rush (to buy tickets)... (Now) I have four tickets to go to a game with no team no one likes! And then he wrote back, 'Crap, forget it'. And I wrote back, 'Too late, mommy booked it. We're going to watch the team you hate!' He was heartbroken."
The Seahawks will now face off against the New England Patriots, led by Gisele Bundchen's husband Tom Brady, in the Super Bowl on 1 February (15).

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen showed her support for husband Tom Brady's U.S. football team New England Patriots as they romped to victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday (18Jan15), by tweeting from the big AFC Championship game. The quarterback led his team to a 45-7 home win and secured the Patriots a Super Bowl match off with the Seattle Seahawks, and his wife made sure fans knew whose side she was on.
Gisele tweeted, "Tooooooooouchdown!!!!!!" as her husband's team rained down points on the Colts as the rain poured down on Foxborough, Massachusetts.
She also added, "That's the way, uh-huh, uh-huh I like it!!!! #GoPats", and "Wait for it... Wait for it... TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!! YEEEAAAHHHH", as she excitedly cheered on the home team.
The Brazilian is sure to be among the celebrities in the crowd for the Super Bowl showdown in Glendale, Arizona on 1 February (15).
Earlier on Sunday, rapper Macklemore and actor Chris Pratt were in the crowd for Seattle's comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers, led by actress Olivia Munn's boyfriend Aaron Rodgers.
Seahawks fan Pratt posted a photo of himself and the Thrift Shop hitmaker and added the caption, "I'm with your boy @macklemore and we just witnessed a miracle!"
The rapper added, "History... #GOHAWKS #SEATTLE."

The quarterback of Mark Wahlberg's beloved New England Patriots has landed roles in two of the movie star's upcoming films. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen's football star husband Tom Brady will appear opposite Wahlberg in the Ted sequel, while his producer pal has also scored the sportsman a role in the upcoming Entourage movie.
During an appearance on U.S. podcast the B.S. Report this week (begs03Nov14), the actor and Patriots fan revealed, "We have an amazing performance from none other than the greatest quarterback of all time. Tom's in the movie. He plays himself, but he does an amazing job. Funny, funny moment."
Wahlberg went on to reveal that Ted 2 isn't the only forthcoming movie of his Brady has shot a cameo for - the sportsman will also be making an appearance alongside his teammates Rob Gronkowski, Stevan Ridley and Julian Edelman in Entourage.
The actor continued, "So, I got him (Brady) in two movies. It's going to be a big summer for those guys."
Brady previously filmed a small role in the Entourage show, for which Wahlberg is an executive producer, in 2009.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen gave her children the opportunity of a lifetime by introducing them to the Dalai Lama on Saturday (01Nov14). The Brazilian beauty took her two young kids with athlete husband Tom Brady to a private meeting with the monk.
She shared a snap on Instagram.com of the Dalai Lama bending over to cup her son Benjamin's face in his hands, while Bundchen proudly stood behind her tot smiling and holding daughter Vivian in her arms.
She added the caption, "What an inspiring and kind man... Grateful for this magical moment."

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has become the star of a short movie directed by Baz Luhrmann as part of the new Chanel No. 5 advertising campaign. The Brazilian beauty is featured surfing at the beach and running through the streets at night on a quest to find true love, before she locks lips with Game of Thrones hunk Michiel Huisman.
Gushing about his leading lady in the three-and-a-half minute film, Luhrmann says, "Gisele, in her own DNA, comes from a new world sensibility. I think that's both fresh, but very true to (Chanel founder) Coco Chanel. Coco was 100 per cent a self-empowered woman."
The Great Gatsby director adds, "(Bundchen) can be incredibly athletic. She has children. She has a very, very significant relationship. She has a career where she can create aspirational, sensual, incredibly glamorous imagery.
"What's most important to her, and I think I'm not out of line saying this, is love. That's what we try to convey in this little film."
Bundchen, who is married to American football star Tom Brady, has previously flexed her acting muscles with appearances in 2004 movie Taxi and in The Devil Wears Prada in 2006.
Luhrmann is no stranger to the Chanel No. 5 marketing campaign - he previously worked with Nicole Kidman for another short film in 2004.

American football star Tom Brady badgers his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen for attention by whining and pouting until he gets his way. The New England Patriots quarterback admits he has picked up a few tips from their kids Benjamin, four, and Vivian, one, to win the beauty's affection.
He tells Man of the World magazine, "I like attention from her. So when I'm not getting it, I let her know in immature ways, like a young, immature child would. You throw fits... you pout and you whine until you get what you want."
However, he confesses his tactics aren't working as well as they used to: "She's on to me... So now I have to learn new tricks."
The couple has been married since 2009.

Summary

Through the first decade of the 21st century, Tom Brady became the NFL's foremost bachelor heartthrob and an irresistible force on the gridiron as he quarterbacked the New England Patriots to five Super Bowls and three National Football league titles. A California native, Brady proved himself an efficient game-manager for the University of Michigan football team - if not necessarily a spectacular talent - and, upon the 2000 NFL draft, lasted into the sixth round before being taken by the Patriots. He assumed an inauspicious backup role until starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe suffered an injury in the 2001 season. Brady soon became an improbable hero, leading the Pats into the playoffs and a Super Bowl XXXVI victory. He evolved into one of the NFL's best on-field generals, as New England proved itself a perennial AFC power in epic annual showdowns with rivals the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. Brady routinely threw for more than 3,500 yards a season, racked up the most post-season wins of any quarterback, and led the Pats to back-to-back titles to cap the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Along the way, his classic Golden Boy good-looks made his love life much-scrutinized, as he dated Hollywood actresses like Bridget Moynahan and eventually married supermodel Giselle Bündchen. A two-time season MVP, holder of the NFL record for most touchdown passes in a season, and the first quarterback to lead his team to 10 division titles, Brady eclipsed all expectations to become one of the most intuitive on-field geniuses of the game.
